Google is set to announce the expansion of its Google Fiber internet service to four new cities, The Wall Street Journal reports, with the details of the new rollout coming in the next few days. According to the publication's sources, the The company will start to offer the one-gigabit broadband network in Atlanta, Nashville, and in two cities in North Carolina — Raleigh-Durham, and Charlotte.

This very awesome for my area as I live in Atanta-Metro area. I guess we have to wait until we hear more, but hopefully they expand enough in my area. If not, I just may take Linus suggestion and move. :V I'm kind of concerned with what Comcast and AT&T will do.

Instead of the US where speeds are typically fine how about a new market! Perth, Australia where I enjoy <4mbit/s down 1 up, with a city of a few million I'm sure there's plenty of prospective customers

Depends.

Google doesn't install it's fiber network everywhere in the city. Only in an area that it judge to have the most subscriptions. If you are out of that area, then sadly, you are not getting Google Fiber, despite being in the city that it is offered at.

Thing is your city has no dark fiber Google can buy up for cheap. That's Google' current strategy: but up the backbones of the unused fiber networks and steal the markets for cheap.

Can't have faster without a faster connection to the rest of the world, which is pricy as all hell. More pricey than fiber. Unless nearly the whole of Australia gets on board, they wouldn't make their money back for many many many years.

I wish one of the cities were in D.C. metropolitan area. It would have been a major statement to Comcast and Verizon.

And it will never come to Australia because there is a lot of water and stupid governments that will quickly stop it  :(
